**used stamps are not to be sent in trades unless both parties agree

[Sally888]

Over the past few months I've noticed that some people are very offended to recieve stamps that have been used but were forgotten to be stamped by the post office.


Due to this please do not send "used" stamps in a trade unless you and the other party have agreed to do so.

Lets save the surprises for birthdays and Christmas.

hopefully no more "misunderstandings" about stamps

good idea! even though the post office didnt stamp it..i find it wrong to reuse the stamp..you are not supporting canada post...they are sending your coupons! lol

It's so ridiculous how some people are not ashamed to be dishonest, I mean if you want to reuse stamps do it when sending your own letters, don't pass your dishonesty to someone else

If they were "used" previously and they have no markings and you can't tell whatsoever that they were used before, and the person who receives them can't tell they were used, I think that is okay.

Although I do not condone re-using stamps, and obviously would want only brand new stamps, never used sent to me in a trade. But I agree, if you are a stamp re-user type, save them for your own use, and don't use them in trades.

EDIT: I thought about it some more, and I don't think re-using stamps for any reason (unless you just tear it off an envelope that you haven't sent out) is reasonable. Stamps are cheap.

I am shocked that people do this.It has never happened to me but I have been sent used gifts that grow points!!Someone don't realize that they can't be used twice.

[crazyindark]

agree, you can reuse the stamps only for yourself, not for the trade.

Someone don't realize that they can't be used twice.

Flowers for you, for being so generous in your thoughts toward others.


Personally, I think they know darned well they can't be re-used. *cough* scammer *cough*

What about people who send stamps that arent permanent.. like .54 stamps.. i still cant use them because i have to go buy .01 stamps to complete ...

[tasha313]

Sorry, I just think that's really funny.

But I agree, re-using stamps is tacky. Sending used stamps for a trade is beyond tacky. Why not just use them for sending your own stuff, if you must? Some people eh?

In my office, we often have people hand delivering mail that is all stamped and ready to be mailed, but then someone decided to hand deliver instead. Our receptionist removes the stamps and makes them available for office staff to use on their personal mail - at a cost of 25 cents each. The money raised goes toward our office christmas hamper that we do every year.
Everyone wins in this situation, though some might think it's dishonest to resell a stamp. I think the end justifies the means though.
I'm not so quick to judge those that re-use stamps. In this case, the stamps are re-used, but not because the post office missed marking it.
